What was I thinking?
All my life I have hated the dentist with great PASSION! Growing up my teeth were a little bit crowded. My upper front teeth were a little crossed – not bad – but it always bothered me.
I have always had individuals tell me I had a beautiful smile. But again those front teeth always bothered me. Many years ago, my sister-in-law Kathy got braces she was in her late thirties or early forties. I really admired her for doing that. At the time I asked her if they hurt – she said yes.
As I have aged through the years my teeth have also been moving. My bottom teeth were actually at two different levels. On a whim I decided to see an orthodontist and get an evaluation. I met with this very hi-tech practitioner and left very discouraged. What I thought might be a simple process I learned would not be and would be very expensive.
